hardly be expected to do it, especially on
a long haul-ike, for instance, from Wyo-
ming. Whatever the Interpretation, the
disposition among the roads is to abide
by it. A violation would make a road
liable to fine of $4,000, besides the in
jury it would otherwise cause. Probably
all the annual passes out will be recalled
when the law takes effect in April"
An Illinois Central officer said:
"There is nothing in the interstate COM
merce law to prevent the giving of passes
from one point to another within state.
Such pass, though would seem to lay
a road liable to the charge of discrimina-
tion. A man might travel in this state
on pass and finish his trip in another
state by buying ticket from the place
where his free ride ended to his destina-
ton. Another passenger, who had to
pay tho whole fare between the two
points, might make complaint that the
man who travelled part of the way on
pass had been shown preference. 1t
would seem as if this would make the
road issuing the pass within state La
BILE to the penalty, though the manager
did not know at the time it was given
that the receiver intended to use
it only so far as it would carry him
on his trip. 1t would be impossible to
follow up all such cases, and probably the
railroad companies, to overcome the diff
Guilty, will not give passes at all. What
ever may be the construction of the law,
it gives tho railroads good chance to
abolish free rides if thev all have the
moral courage to do it. Of course if one
line should give passes to points within
the state, others might be influenced to
follow suit.
The Northwestern officers think, it is
understood that the law shuts out all
applicants except employees and people
who are absolutely destitute.
The general passenger agent of tho
Michigan Central line said:
mo railroad man seems to have any
opinion, but all seem to think the section
prohibits the issue of passes to any one
except employees of railroads. 1t does
not seem to check the giving to them
within a state, but between states. The
railroad managers are disposed to follow
as closely as possible the meaning of the
law, as they understand it, subject of
course to the interpretations given by the
Interstate commission.

The prohibitary clause concerning rail-
way passes, in the interstate commerce
bill is interpreted variously by the differ
ent railroad managers A reporter ofthe
Chicago News recently made the rounds
among the railway officers, to get their
opinion concerning the law. Among the
views of the managers presented. Col.
Wood of the Alton road said that:
"Some interpret the law to mean that
passes cannot be issued that would intiu-
ence passengers or freights. 1t is an
open question whether they can be issued
to legislators, congressman, editors. or
professional men. Any of these might
influence passengers or freight, or might
not. Cutting off passes would tend to
increase the popularity of the railroads.
Now they make enemies, because many
people who are not given free rides think
| they are Just as much entitled to them as
many who receive passes. [ don't think
the abolition of the railroad pass will
materially cheaper or affect rates.
One of the Rock Island managers
| said:
"Probably the commission would con-
strue the clause literally enough to per-
nit a man to ride free to take care OF live
stock. That would be no more than
| right. The railroad company would

CONCERNING the governors first two
appointments and the political signif-
cance which attaches thereto, the Bis
marck Tribune says:
These appointments are significant, and
a complete surprise to the army OF aspl-
rants for the various positions. Mr.
Ward is wholesale grocer of Sioux Falls
and Mr.. Benton now holds the best posi-
ton in the territory-sheritf OF the great
county of Cass. The former had been
looked upon as candidate for some Po-
sition in the gift of the executive but the
latter had not been thought of IN this
connection. It is evident, now, that Gov
ernor Church's appointments will be per
sonal rather than party preferences. His
cabinet will be selected " ~ithout regard to
party Cancellation. The administration
in Dakota will be a counterpart of the
administration at Washington. The
dawn of new democracy has come. Its
popularity in a region where the people
have no voice will depend largely upon
the sagacity of the new executive.

ALL the real readers of Shakespeare's
plays have never for an instant believed
the claims of Ignatius Donnelly that he
had found cypher and the key which
proved that Francis Bacon, the Lord
Verulam, wrote the Shakespeare plays.
Notwithstanding the non appearance OF
the Donnelly book, he has from time to
time, stimulated the public interest by
cheerful tidings that he was rapidly pro-
crossing in the work and that it was
Bacon sure. In part of the play OF
Henry w. he claimed the evidence was
indisputable and Bacon societies in Eng
land have been eagerly trying to assist in
this wonderful discovery. Now it appears
that Donnelly's vaunted cypher is indeed
nothing for the hoy wont work any more.
The Chicago News says:
It is learned that Mr.. Donnelly has
written to friend in that city that his
cypher system has failed him, and that it
will not work out the same results IN
other plays. He has tried "A Winters
Tale" "Iimon of Athens and "Pericles,
but the notches of his mathematical Ba-
CONAN key fail to fit the words OF the
matchless philosophy and poetry Of
Shakespeare. Mr.. Donnelly may console
himself with the distractions of politics
and the reflection that many as good {
man as he has been deluded by his owr
imagination, only to realize his error II
the kind treatment of well managed IN
sane asylum. ..
Which is about all the comfort there is
left for Mr.. Donneily, aside from the
pleasure in carefully reading the plays
themselves, and the profit from publish

haps, by many OF the curious. The dam

The Earthquake Destruction.

RomE, Feb. 2AA.-Details have been re-
ceived this morning of the results OF the.
earthquakes yesterday showing that the
effects were far more serious than was
thought. The loss of life and destruc-i

FIFTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE WERE KILLED
in that district. At the village OF Balfo-

the church, and three hundred of the
people who were in it were killed.
THE OBSTRUCTION OF PROPERTY

earthquake is immense and widespread.
Another shock was felt at Mentone to-
day, SO severe that houses were shaken.
No one was injured. Additional details
concerning the damage done by yester-
days shocks show that in some cases
villages built on mountains were toppled
into valleys. Three railway trains have
been dispatched with food for the suffer

NEARLY all the western states and terri
tories are again up in arms about the
Chinese laborers now swarming along the
Pacific coast. The governors OF a num-
Der of states have urged the legislatures
to memorialize and appeal to their men,
bers in congress to exact a law that will
let in no more of the yellow slaves who
demoralize and disturb every community
in which they locate, and cheaper labor
until no American workman can live
from the competition. A number of gov
ernors in the eastern states as well, have
in their messages, urged and prayed for
the same prohibition of Chinese, and
none, among these have put it more
strongly than retiring Governor Alger, of
Michigan, who asks of his legislature
what the members of the Dakota legis-
lature would do we'll to at once comply
with. Governor Alger says:
Another matter should receive your at
tention. There is, as you well know, on
the western shores of this great country
a horde of Chinese Pagans. They come
from country where the whole popula-
ton of the United States in numbers
could be taken from and scarcely missed:
Their immigration to this country should
be forever stopped. They are not fit
subjects to become citizens, they have no
interest in this government they send all
their earnings back to their native land,
and when they have accumulated a
small sum they return there only
to send out to take their places,
hordes of similar people. They disgrace
labor; they will work, for wages-and lay
up the greater portion of their earnings
that will not support a white man,
They are ''upas tree" to the growth OF
this country. I recommend that you
urge upon our members of congress the
necessity of the enactment of law that
shall for ever forbid another one OF that
race from landing in this country. We
have no use for them, and the sooner
stringent laws are passed prohibiting them
from coming here, the better it will be fol-
the country.
